[Alright, this tablet? Ollie can admit this is a nice piece of work. If he could, he'd probably take it apart but that would probably result in bad things.

Which he's really averse to currently.

But onto the more important things... Listed on this public network post is the name 'Oliver Queen,' a name that's been fairly recently added to the lists.]

Right, so. These guys, our... overlords, they pluck us out of somewhere and then drop us into The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. After that, somehow, we get back to the year 3000 and now half of us are suddenly kids?

[Don't even ask how he knows that bit of information, he's a professional stalker.]

I'm starting to think adjustment periods aren't exactly a thing these guys do around here. Is this... normal?

[HE'S SO CONFUSED DON'T JUDGE HIM.]

Can't exactly say I've kept up with the times.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Heh. Guess I haven't, either.

Sorry for the mess.

voice

[queenoftherock]

I'll get used to it, I guess, if it's the norm. I don't really think we have much choice on the matter, though.

voice

[kneecaptain]

You get to choose whether or not you get used to it.

voice

[queenoftherock]

It's not much of a choice if you expect to actually get around the place.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Some choices are rigged.

voice

[queenoftherock]

Not exactly a great way to go around being the good guy.

voice

[kneecaptain]

I haven't found an easy way to do that.

voice

[queenoftherock]

[Neither has he.]

So all the problems from back home are the same here. Not too bad, I think.

voice

[kneecaptain]

You normally have to deal with weird orders from mystery kidnappers?

voice

[queenoftherock]

[Sort of. Complicated story.]

No, just grumpy people who can't see the silver lining.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Ouch.

voice

[queenoftherock]

[Wow that was... not meant that way. Way to be a jerk, Ollie.]

There's gotta be something good in all this, right?

voice

[kneecaptain]

[ He's not really offended. ]

It's a fresh start. If you're into that kinda thing.

voice

[queenoftherock]

[Ollie's not against that.]

We take what we can get, right?

voice

[kneecaptain]

If you're the silver linings type.

My name's Bucky. I know it says, but… [there is no but]

voice

[queenoftherock]

Oliver. Good to meet you.
